Title: Mai poem
Summary: A poem from Mai to Yugi and the gang, set just before Mai met Varon, suicidal theme, about why she turned to darkness
Disclaimer I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh
All I wanted is to be strong just like all of you
You pushed me away there was nothing I could do
Everyone grew around me leaving me in tears
Left alone with my enemies alone with my fears
Malik showed how little hope I'd ever really had
And how easily it was taken away proving I wasn't mad
When you first came and helped me friendship beckoned
I believed you would accept me I wouldn't be alone for a second
Jounouchi you hurt the most of all because of your love
It seemed we went together as hand is to glove
But then we parted I was left to survive on nothing
I tried to build a name for myself build a little something
But everyone new I was rubbish lowly and pathetic
Only duelling me because they're so sympathetic
Yeah I won but everyone knew I wasn't in your class
No one remembered me at all turning away as I pass
And then one day I saw all your faces on my old TV
Saw what amazing stars you were all to be
And there in the dark of night I sat and wept and cried
Then inside I felt my heart as it painfully died
And you wonder why I chose the path of darkness
Well that's because my life was so hopeless
All I wanted was to belong but I never did
You've only got yourselves to blame to why in the dark I hid
So now perhaps you know why my journey ended this way
The light I couldn't find and so I couldn't stay
Hope you like it
